Louise was a homemaker in the best sense, creating a warm and wonderful atmosphere not only for her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren but also for anyone who stopped by her beloved farm by Salt Fork State Park. She was an accomplished seamstress and crafter. She loved to laugh and had a way with a perfectly timed phrase that made others laugh as well. She lived for her family, always saying she was blessed.
